14. Neurotoxic Effects Associated with Current Uses of Organophosphorus Compounds
Organophosphorus compounds (OPs) are a large and diverse class of chemicals that have been synthesized, since the XIX century for several purposes like chemical weapons, flame-retardants, ectoparasiticides and investigational new drugs, but mainly as agrochemicals in agriculture and indoor. Although the amount of OP pesticides being used is declining, especi

16. INTERAÇÕES FÁRMACO-RECEPTOR: APLICAÇÕES DE TÉCNICAS COMPUTACIONAIS EM AULA PRÁTICA SOBRE A EVOLUÇÃO DOS INIBIDORES DA ENZIMA CONVERSORA DE ANGIOTENSINA
Teaching classes and events regarding the molecular aspects of drug-receptor interactions is not an easy task. The ligand stereochemistry and the spatial arrangement of the macromolecular targets highly increase the complexity of the process. In this context, the use of alternative and more playful approaches could allow students to gain a more thorough unde

17. Cocos nucifera (L.) (Arecaceae): A phytochemical and pharmacological review
Cocos nucifera (L.) (Arecaceae) is commonly called the “coconut tree” and is the most naturally widespread fruit plant on Earth. Throughout history, humans have used medicinal plants therapeutically, and minerals, plants, and animals have traditionally been the main sources of drugs. The constituents of C. nucifera have some biological effects, such as a

18. Determination of the activity of standard anti-tuberculosis drugs against intramacrophage Mycobacterium tuberculosis, in vitro: MGIT 960 as a viable alternative for BACTEC 460
BACTEC 460 has now been phased out, so the search for an alternative is imperative. We have determined the activity of standard anti-tuberculosis drugs against intramacrophage Mycobacterium tuberculosis, in vitro, by using BACTEC 460 and MGIT 960 methods. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and streptomycin against intr

19. Anti-TNFα therapy in the management of psoriasis: experience of a state referral center
BACKGROUND:Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated disease, characterized by increased levels of TNFα. Anti-TNFα agents have revolutionized the treatment of severe psoriasis by targeting an important molecule involved in its pathogenesis.OBJECTIVES:We report the experience of a state referral center that uses anti-TNFα agents for psoriasis.METHODS:We condu

20. Ethnopharmacology: quo vadis? Challenges for the future
It is well-known that humans have used medicinal plants for millennia, but as a defined field of scientific research called ethnopharmacology, it has a relatively short history. It is linked to the development of pharmacology in the 19th century (as exemplified in the work of Claude Bernard linking the explorers' observations on traditional uses of medicines

22. The genus Crataegus: chemical and pharmacological perspectives
Traditional drugs have become a subject of world importance, with both medicinal and economical implications. A regular and widespread use of herbs throughout the world has increased serious concerns over their quality, safety and efficacy. Thus, a proper scientific evidence or assessment has become the criteria for acceptance of traditional health claims. P

23. Validation of a modified fluorimetric assay for the screening of trichomonacidal drugs
A fluorimetric microassay that uses a redox dye to determine the viability of the flagellate Trichomonas vaginalis has been optimised to provide a more sensitive method to evaluate potential trichomonacidal compounds. Resazurin has been used in recent years to test drugs against different parasites, including trichomonadid protozoa; however, the reproducibil

24. Desenvolvimento, caracterização físico-química e avaliação farmacocinética de nanopartículas auto-organizadas de quitosana / Development, physico-chemical characterization and pharmacokinetic evaluation of self-assembly chitosan nanoparticules
Objectives: Nanoparticles (NP) are useful to modulate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of drugs. The aim of this study was to develop innovative self-assembly nanovesicles (NV) constituted of chitosan and lecithin with isopropyl myristate (IPM) as oil core, able to modify the PK plasma profile of clozapine (CZP) and valproic acid (VPA). Methods: The NV were obtaine
